the man involved in this thread about incident in Dallas is and has been in South Carolina. This is tied to what Sanford knows and why he is THE ONLY governor willing to stand up to the power....

Read the thread on what happened in Dallas in 2003. It happened. The guy involved is in South Carolina. He has been since. He has abilities beyond the norm. All of this is tied to what is happening in SC political realms. Some are in the know and seek to keep this covered. They are failing to do so. There will be more like me coming forward. The dam is leaking badly. This may seem as though it is totally unrelated. It is not. Sanford is standing against darkness..

South Carolina's state legislature is full of crooked law makers and law breakers. A lot of us here in the state support Governor Sanford. He has worked long and hard to keep a lid on the criminal give-a-ways the state legislature does with our tax dollars.

Go Sanford Go -

and Godspeed!

this is what Sanford did after they said he HAD to take the stimulus money, this was last Wed and the next day he went missing:

Am I the only one who thinks it is totally irresponsible to leave the line of succession in his state up in the air?

"Chief Lloyd confirmed that my information is legitimate," Knotts said. "He shared my concerns" about succession of power in Sanford’s absence, the Lexington Republican said. Lloyd could not be reached immediately on Monday. [link to www.miamiherald.com]

The whereabouts of Gov. Mark Sanford was unknown for nearly four days, and some state leaders question who was in charge of the executive office.

But Sanford’s office told the lieutenant governor’s office Monday afternoon that Sanford has been reached and he is fine, said Frank Adams, head of Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer’s office on aging.

Neither the governor’s office nor the State Law Enforcement Division, which provides security for governors, had been able to reach Sanford after he left the mansion Thursday in a black SLED Suburban SUV, said Sen. Jake Knotts and three others familiar with the situation but declined to be identified.

Sanford’s last known whereabouts had been near Atlanta because a mobile telephone tower picked up a signal from his phone, authorities said. His office now knows where he is, Adams said.

First lady Jenny Sanford told The Associated Press earlier Monday her husband has been gone for several days and she did not know where.

She said she was not concerned.

The governor’s state and personal phones had been turned off and he had not responded to phone or text messages since at least the weekend, a source familiar with the situation said.

Most mobile phones cannot be tracked if they are turned off.

Jenny Sanford said the governor said he needed time away from their children to write something.

The governor’s office issued a statement Monday afternoon: "Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements."

One official familiar with the situation said there was no indication that foul play might have been involved because Sanford occasionally makes trips without his security detail.

Knotts, a longtime Sanford critic, said he contacted SLED Chief Reggie Lloyd Saturday after he heard reports the governor could not be reached.

"Chief Lloyd confirmed that my information is legitimate," Knotts said. "He shared my concerns" about succession of power in Sanford’s absence, the Lexington Republican said. Lloyd could not be reached immediately on Monday.

"I was recently made aware that Governor Sanford has frequently been eluding SLED agents and disappearing at odd times," Knotts said. Previously, Sanford has not been out of all contact - including with his own office - for this long before, a source, who insisted on anonymity, said.

Knotts said the state’s chief executive should never be unreachable.

"As the head of our state, in the unfortunate event of a state of emergency or homeland security situation, Governor Sanford should be available at all times to the Chief of SLED," the senator said.

"If for any reason, including the unknown whereabouts of the Governor, he is unable to perform the duties of his office the Constitution provides that the lieutenant governor assumes the position of governor.

"I want to know immediately ­ who is running the executive branch in the governor’s absence," Knotts said.

The question of succession came just after Sanford became governor in 2003.

He joined the Air Force Reserve and was sent to Alabama for two week’s training with his unit, the 315th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron based in Charleston. Sanford did not transfer power to Bauer at the time, saying he would be in regular contact with his office.

Sanford said then he would transfer authority in writing to the lieutenant governor only if he were called to active duty.

Yet the Captain of the division has stated he has no clue where he is. If it was one of his vehicles, and officers that drove wouldn't he know that information and just say he cannot comment instead of denying knowing at all.

Thank you.

We have similar issues in NY, and a senate that has ceased to function. Sptizer resigned, and the Lt. Gov. Paterson was elevated to Gov. leaving a vacancy. Then there was a coup in the senate, and a turncoat, who is lying about living in his district was second in command for the throne until a judge issued a restraining order.

Yes, we need to know that the lines of command are clear, even if it is meaningless. Disappearing is just wrong. He's not going to survive this.

yes it is real. The Governor of the state of South Carolina bucked the stimulus, was forced under duress to take it, sued the Fed to not take it, failed to get a majority to veto it, the legislative session ended, went on Glenn Beck to say the federal Government is initiating a takeover, then took off without telling anyone, whereabouts unknown, can't be reached.

Beyond one's own mind there is no dazzling light to come shining in from outside to wake one up. If one recognizes one's own intrinsic State as pure from the beginning and only temporarily obscured by impurities, and if one maintains the presence of this recognition without becoming distracted, then all the impurities dissolve. This is the essence of the Path-namkhai norbu.

Why is there a legend about the descent of Christ into hell? The Teacher addressed the lower strata of the astral world, saying: &#65533;Why, by cherishing earthly thoughts, bind oneself eternally to Earth?&#65533; And many revolted in spirit and rose higher.Thread: I shot video of the earth from my spacecraft, enjoy!

ha! then the reporters had started playing Where's Waldo so his Office released a statement:

“Gov. Sanford is taking some time away from the office this week to recharge after the stimulus battle and the legislative session, and to work on a couple of projects that have fallen by the wayside. We are not going to discuss the specifics of his travel arrangements or his security arrangements.”

Well...that settles that.

Myself...I thought maybe he misunderstood when forced to take the money and thought it was his. I would've checked the French Riviera, but the official statement from his office puts me right at ease.

Please! Anyone saying this is about stimulus refusal is a bit wacky. Put down the kool aid.

Why don't we wait for confirmation of his whereabouts and an official press release? It could be anything. My guess is a mental break with reality. Men do that at his age when they realize that they don't want the wife/kids/etc. that they signed on for.

well, that's just it. There is no official message. The Lt. Governor said they have been in contact yet the Governor's spokesman refused to confirm this. Conflicting stories.

I don't think he took off to go have a 'man-weekend'.And in this day and age, the one Governor who kicked up a fuss...missing? Just ask the Inspector General who was illegally fired for getting too close to what Obama was doing about abuse of power.

Yep, probably hunkering down, but for what? I wasn't necessarily implying a "man weekend" as much as a total disengagement from where he has found himself. Could be family, could be politics, could be other. Wife seems to be covering for him, not sure what that is worth.

Curious what you mean regarding "abuse of power" - it seems rampant these days - and there is very little that anyone can do about it. I have my own engagement with the IG on an appointee here...waiting for them to finish their report.
